How do I make an equidistant inner shape like the sketch above it? When I create an offset path, it creates something like the third image.
Using Illustrator CC

Can you just use one path and stroke it?
- As in - create one thick path, outline stroke, then stroke thatset

- draw your path, give it a stroke weight, use this tool

If you want to keep it editable just make a brush from a pair of parallel lines and set stroke to inside/outside. Will save time doing doing manual work if there are revisions.

I have like 40 layout pages for a website.
can I package or link all files from all documents to only one folder?- Prob best to embed all images if the source files are spread all over the place?MrT
- actually the source files (images) are already all in the same folder. the font is installed in all computers in client's office.oey
- there's a way!
https://graphicdesig…monospaced - ah! mono I thank you but that's not my question. i would like to have all documents packaged to just one folder. same for all instead of each document a packageoey
- would prefer not to embed images. fonts are installed and when client opens document he can link via find font and save.oey
- I think I'm missing something or turning something simple into something complex.oey
- oh ... never heard of thatmonospaced

So I made these Website Wireframes in Illustrator and the client is wondering what to do next as the Programmer has a health issue...
And he needs it done so he was asking if I could do it but I don't have so much time to continue with this project but still I said I would check.
Having all these files which direction would you go now?
Muse?Or?
- At the least you'll need AI source to export your SVG/PNG/JPEG image assets. But the rest is HTML/CSS.evilpeacock
- I can also export css from illustrator right? and slice everything before exporting, right? I have to check it good cause i don't have much timeoey
- so i can consider to do this gig or not cause actually i'm a bit tired of the work. the client is great but i worked already so many hours on itoey
- and want to start something new and work in other stuff.oey
- you can export css styles from PS, not sure about AI. But building a site is not as simple as exporting from the design program. You will need to get dirty withfadein11

Man...I had told the client that the work I was doing wasn't necessary...
Now he finally realized I could have done everything already either in Muse or Dreamweaver from the beginning...It feels weird to have to do sort of the same work twice...specially if I don't have the time available.
And I'm not sure if they're willing to pay the right money for the job after they realized that the +40 I did were actually in vain...
WTF?!
What now?
any suggestions how to solve this mess?- Their developer had health issues and couldn't do the job. The answer is simple: get a new developer to do the work. You didn't do anything in vain.monospaced
- I suggest finding someone to do it for them using your wire frames, at a good price.monospaced
- I know mono but he's thinking about doing it himself in Muse. He asked me if I could ask around if someone's willing to do it.oey
- I think you should ask around, and get it off your plate.monospaced
- The fact that you can sort of build a house without a plan does not mean a blueprint isn't necessary. Don't feel bad. You designed it. The build is easy now.monNom
